World-class precision

Positioning with fingertip precision is easy. The operating keys on the control panel move the specimen holder in the X-direction with 5.0 or 100 μm increments, and the cut-off/cup wheel motor in the Y-direction. Mounting the specimen holder directly on the X-movement arm ensures a high level of precision and parallelism.

Easy to learn and use

An intuitive user interface provides a clear overview of each method and related cut-off wheels. A smart turn/push knob enables fast selection of settings and large icons provide an easy-to-understand overview of functions.

Optimum preparation quality

Grinding mode is available on Accutom-100 and can be used for all types of material using multiple bi-directional sweeps between movements in the X-direction to ensure perfect planeness. Two grinding modes are available for accurate control of material removal to achieve the optimum preparation result.

Grinding mode with perfect planeness

Available in Accutom-100, grinding mode can be used for all types of material using multiple bi-directional sweeps between movements in the X-direction to ensure perfect planeness.

Grinding mode with perfect planeness
Rotation and oscillation for shorter cutting time

Rotation of the workpiece significantly reduces cutting time, e.g. for a tube or round workpiece, while oscillation prevents overheating when cutting hard materials.

Rotation and oscillation for shorter cutting time
MultiCut for extra productivity

The MultiCut mode boosts productivity by enabling cutting of up to ten identical or different slices in a single, automatic workflow. MultiCut is available on the Accutom-100.
